using a birch plywood that is A grade on top and C grade on bottom (but he
thought it was actually a B grade). * That is the same quality of
construction I would want to buy in an off the shelf product, even if it
cost more than fiberboard or particle board. *Does that help you identify
the type of construction I want?

I am looking for off the shelf, completed cabinets, made of birch or equal
quality plywood, with real wood veneers. * *Does any web site sell those?

For material I want a strong plywood with a high quality real wood veneer.
No fiberboard!!!!

You ask odd questions, or at least phrase them oddly.
No fiberboard - got it. *What about particle board?
'Strong' plywood? *Is that a grade?
Medium high quality and low prices. *All of that is subjective and
provides no helpful information.

Check out cabparts.com or some such and roll you own and see if that
works for you.

Why don't you just have "your cabinetmaker" manufacture the cabs? He's
obviously invested some time and interest in your project. Even if
he's 25% -50% higher it seems as though you would be a lot better off.
I recently had a client tell me that my prices were higher than Ikea,
and in my nicest, most concerned voice I told her that you get what
you pay for and that I use "green" products as much as I can with low
VOC finishes. That sold the kitchen right then and there.
